Investigators seek reasons for Texas woman’s fatal fall from Isla Mujeres balcony

Moore worked at the Texas Bullion Exchange, and is survived by a son.

Family and friends are mourning the death of the Southeast Texas woman.

KFDM News spoke with family members who said they were informed by friends Destiny Moore had fallen off a balcony Thursday night and was in surgery. The family says it received a call two hours later that she had died. So far, they say the only information they’ve received is through a Mexican newspaper and friends.

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy sent a statement to KFDM:

“At this point, we can confirm that U.S. citizen Destiny Moore died in Cancun, Mexico. We offer our sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones on their loss. Our consular staff is providing all possible consular assistance. Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we have no further comment.”

The embassy also confirmed they are assisting the Beaumont family in returning the body of their daughter to the United States.

Anande Krishna, Deputy Press Attache for the US Embassy in Mexico, said they are providing assistance to the family.

“We send our condolences out to the family at this very difficult time and are doing everything we can to assist them,” said Krishna.

Investigators in Mexico have told reporters they cannot release any more information as the investigation is ongoing. They would not say whether foul play was suspected.

Moore was described by her friends as fun loving and full of life.

“Destiny was such a beautiful soul that was so full of life and energy and could light up any room,” said Moore’s friend Marissa Gerik.

“You couldn’t have a bad time if Destiny was around. She will be greatly missed by so many friends and family who loved her so much. My heart goes out to her precious son and I pray that he always remembers her as the amazing and spirited person that she was.”
